I don't get it. Much as I love Rumsfeld and Bush, I see no good reason for this information to be covered up. If Clinton was doing this, we'd be going nuts.

In my opinion, your love of Rumsfeld and Bush is well- justified. I love them also.
However, you are a little naïve in some ways. The Bush administration made some kind of mistake in regards to Able Danger. I don't know what the mistake was, but they would not be covering up Able Danger if they had not made a mistake.
No doubt, the Clinton administration mistakes on Able Danger (or more likely, their willful aiding of terrorism) were a hundred times or a thousand times more grievious than the mistakes of the Bush administration in regards to Able Danger. however, if the truth about evil danger comes out. This will not matter because 1) Bush is president, Clinton is not and 2) the mainstream media.
The US government is obviously a huge, vastly complex organization. Bush came into power in a disruptive situation caused by the conflict over the vote in Florida that delayed the whole timetable of the power take over. Remember, how bad it was? He had many months of delay in getting his people into place, compared to the normal timetable.
When Bush took over the government, terrorism was considered a low priority. This was more than anything due to Clinton's willful distortion of intelligence over a period of eight years, aided and abetted by the mainstream media. It is true that there were a few individuals, consider to be nutty at the time, who said that terrorism was extremely important. however, Bush, along with most of the other people in the country, could not see that that tiny group of experts was correct.
Bush did not emphasize terrorism as he started his government. Some kind of mistake was made by the Bush administration in regards to the handling of Able Danger (which would haev been seen as a low level priority from a general perspective---someone made the mistake of not elevating the priority.). Bush now feels the need to cover up and Rumsfeld is helping him do it. Personally, I can accept this. They are both great men who have done and will do many great things to protect our country. But running a country is sometimes a messy business. This has nothing to do with the sordid reality of Bill and Hillary who created a mess while doing their best to undermine and destroy our nation.
I'll search. But memory serves me that the DOD ordered the docs destroyed, as part and parcel of SOP.
I don't believe any of this giant conspiracy stuff. As is true with the other theories (Jewish bankers, Trilateral Commission, Bilderbergs, etc.) if there were such a powerful group in control there would be no need to hide it. They could just overtly control rather than do it covertly. And if they do control covertly, there is nothing we can do about it anyway. I think it is all like a child's connect the dots picture where the child has taken shortcuts that seemed correct but weren't. That produces a muddled and different picture than reality. I think our Sherlocks have done that.
its about money and power
When Bush appointed Mueller of BCCI cover-up fame was appointed to FBI. It was telling to me. There were many better qualified candidates.
BOTH the dems and repubs were involved in the crimes, as were the Saudis.
